Google is now offering a virtual tour of famous sites across the world, including that of Stonehenge and Jerusalem. The World Wonders Project uses the same Street View technology that allows people to virtually navigate their neighbour hoods through Google Maps, but the cameras are focused
on historic and treasured sites such as Florence, Stonehenge and ancient Kyoto instead, LA Times reported.
Although many of the images are gathered with cars that have a camera mounted on top, more difficult-to-reach spots, or publicly inaccessible sites, have been recorded on a pedestrian “trike” and other devices.
